Thai in Georgetown? YES!

When I was visiting "The Square" a couple of months ago, I noticed a sign on Seventh that announced "Dia Thai Cuisine Opening Soon."  Huh?  Thai in GT?  Sounded good to me!  I love Thai food, and have not been able to find a good, convenient place to go since I moved fto GT rom Northwest Austin in 2001.

I'm no food critic -- so take this as you will -- but both my husband and I thought the food was great!  My coconut and lemongrass soup with chicken was steaming hot, well spiced and perfectly delicious.  In fact, the next day I found myself craving another bowl.  My entree -- a spicier Pad Thai with basil was wonderful.  Though -- fair warning -- it was pretty spicy hot -- and I am a "hotmouth." So, you may want them to tone it down if you don't like things really hot.

The restaurant was well decorated -- and the dishes were modern and sleek.  Additionally, there were some outdoor dining table set up.  How nice to be able to enjoy the fall weather while enjoying dinner.  I'd definitely recommend you giving it a try.  Let me know what you think!

Dia Thai Cuisine is located at 114 E. Seventh St., Ste. 105 in Georgetown, Texas.

BEST Tex-Mex: Dos Salsas, Georgetown

I'm sitting here at my desk dreaming about Dos Salsas in Georgetown, Texas.  If you haven't been here -- you're doing yourself a major disservice.  Recenly renovated, the restaurant now offers ample seating -- in a lovely setting, located right in historic downtown Georgetown.

Personally -- I cannot get enough of their red salsa -- fresh and spicy, you can taste every ingredient.  FANTASTIC!  Their fajitas are unbelievable -- as are the carnitas and puerco en guajillo.  Wash it all down with a margarita, and you're in heaven.

Think I'll have to head there for dinner...
